Abstract

Solid ameloblastoma is an odontogenic epithelial benign neoplasia, but it is aggressive and affects mainly young adults between their third and seventh decade of life, with no predilection for sex. It is clinically characterized as a slow-growing tumor, asymptomatic and with a high recurrence rate. Radiographically, it may present as unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesions, usually with well-defined borders similar to soap bubbles or honeycombs. This study aims to report a case of solid ameloblastoma that occurred in a 29-year-old patient, submitted to treatment of segmental mandibular resection, presenting a satisfactory result. It is fundamental to know the characteristics of the lesion and to request complementary examinations for a correct diagnosis of this pathology.
